We are prepared for a ‘no deal’ Brexit

2019-02-08

We know that many people are relying on our assistive tools and have made preparations to make sure we can continue to deliver to our customers in the event of a ‘no deal’ Brexit in the immediate post Brexit period.

Manufacture of most of the group’s products is outsourced to third party suppliers. These suppliers are worldwide including within the UK, other EU countries and elsewhere. Any products manufactured outside the UK will potentially be impacted by any post Brexit delays to delivery but in addition any UK based manufacturers could themselves be impacted by delays in components sourced from outside the UK.

We have implemented a policy to ensure that we hold a sufficient buffer stock in UK at 31 March 2019. Key UK suppliers are also being asked to confirm that their own Brexit plans are sufficient to ensure continuity of supply.
